大象传媒 Proms Sunday Symphony: James MacMillan Premiere
A new work from Scottish composer Sir James MacMillan, whose Fourth Symphony was written for the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and dedicated to their conductor Donald Runnicles.
Sir Mark Elder concludes his series of hand-picked symphonies from the 2015 Proms season with a new work from Scottish composer Sir James MacMillan. MacMillan's Fourth Symphony was specially written for the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and dedicated to their chief conductor Donald Runnicles, and the programme concludes with their world premiere performance at the Proms. Before the performance, Sir Mark meets MacMillan to reflect on some of the symphonies we've encountered over the series, and to discuss the evolution of this new work.
Presented from the Royal Albert Hall by Katie Derham.
